Harvesting is usually done by hand, gently picking the berries to avoid damaging the plant. It is important to harvest in the morning when the berries are cool and firm. Ensure that the berries are dry to prevent mold and spoilage. Regularly check the plants as not all berries ripen at the same time.Suelo
